TL;DR: In this article, the authors modeled habitat suitability of the threatened giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) in the Brazilian State of Sao Paulo and used a two-step analysis: first, they created a suitability map in the species' distributional range (Drange), from this map, extracted the results for Sao Paulo State.

TL;DR: It is found that habitat loss increased genetic diversity and allelic richness in populations of the Neotropical savanna tree Tabebuia aurea, and decreased genetic differentiation among populations (FST), most likely due to longer dispersal distance of pollen in landscapes with lower density of flowering individuals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the univariate and combined effect of forest loss (percent of forest cover) and fragmentation (forest patch density) on populations of a forest-specialist primate, the black-fronted titi monkey (Callicebus nigrifrons), in the landscapes from a transitional zone between Atlantic Forest and Cerrado biomes.

TL;DR: It is shown that molecular data is a powerful tool for precisely identifying small-sized roadkilled animals and that different landscape structure attributes enable the prediction of roadkill occurrence along roads, which in turn allows us to identify roadkill hotspots and plan appropriate mitigation actions.

TL;DR: In this paper, different acoustic indices and the percentage of natural vegetation cover in different scales were measured for soundscapes in Atlantic Forest fragments during three months on the rainy season, and the results corroborated their initial hypotheses: different indices respond to different scales and their medians varied according to the amount of vegetation cover on the surroundings.
